Was released today in some Southern California theaters, I do believe. I just saw the first showing at 8 in Westlake Village.

IT was.... awesome. Really good movie in general, not just for a comic book movie. I'd recommend it to all action fans.

PS: Don't leave after the credits - big spoiler for future of the franchise. Comic book fans will geek out for sure.

I'm seeing it tomorrow. Looks like I failed to live up to my boast of standing in line to see it open.

Oh well.

Agree, was a good movie all around, not just a good comic book movie. I left before the end of the credits but heard about it afterwards in the lobbey. Bummed I missed that part.

I thought it was ok. Not great. There were some really cheesy moments and the battle at the end kept me from getting too excited. Overall though, pretty entertaining I guess.

It was pretty damn good. Nothing too spectacular action-wise, but Jr does a great job playing the character. He's my favorite alter-ego from any super-hero movie so far. Very well done.

And now i'm really pissed that i didn't stay until the end of the credits. We were there with a pretty big group, and once the girls stood up and started staring impatiently at their respective boyfriends, we pretty much all had to get up and leave. Now i'll have to see it again this weekend....

Going to see it tonight.

Just noticed that it's playing in the "Dome" at the Arclight in Hollywood....which is an excellent place to enjoy a movie. Also, because you purchase your specific seats online, you can show up 5 minutes before the trailers start and not have to worry about waiting in a long-ass line to get in, or having to sit in the very front row!

JON FAVREAU IS PRETTY HAPPY YOU SAW IRON MAN
I just got off the phone with my brother, who saw Iron Man tonight in Century City (which is a part of LA. Everything here is Something City). On the way out of the theater he ran into Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr, who were shaking hands and thanking people for coming out to the movie. My brother chatted with Favreau about the old RKO Keith theater in Queens, where we used to see movies and where Favreau ushered.

It's not unusual for movie people to spy on opening weekend crowds, but how cool is it that these two shook all those hands? Makes you feel a touch less cynical about this business.

Ok...officially John Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. rock. I really hope that Downey keeps it together...success is a helluva drug

b.t.w if you haven't seen KissKissBangBang...hell, just watch it. Not only is Downey awesome but Val Kilmer owns too.

*SPOILER ALERT*

AVENGERS.....

ASSEMBLE!!!

I had heard that they were planning an Avengers movie starring Robert Downey Jr., Edward Norton, Samuel Jackson and more.... that was freaking great after the credits.

I felt like a 14 year old kid again.

Fun fun fun

**jerseydevil** · May 2nd, 2008, 09:44 PM

SPOILER ALERT

they better have the recently-dead Hawkeye as one of the players...

thanks for the heads-up Doc, now i know I need to stay till the lights come on!!

**Dr. Naysay** · May 2nd, 2008, 09:46 PM

It's not very long.... but it's very very ****ING AWESOME!!!

roenick · May 3rd, 2008, 11:13 AM

We all enjoyed it. The kids loved it as well and heck you get to see the new TDK preview and it looks freaking awesome. As does the new Hulk.

I was very impressed by John Favreau's directing. I really liked Iron Man, totally recommend it!!!

I agree. While I like Elf and Zathura a lot, based on those movies, the fans were fair in their skepticism of Jon at the helm.

I won't doubt him on any level again.
